It means: laugh & have fun.

Until that time, do what you need to in order to keep going and enjoy life</em>." Bob was talking in the context of religion. He doesn't affiliate with a religion and didn't want to pit the belief of a Catholic over a Protestant over a Muslim. To me, his comment is quite Zen. It doesn't matter what individually we believe (God, Allah, Buddha) we all find our own truth in the end. That said, I agree that it is only when we are alive that we have the gift of making so many wonderful choices for our lives. We can make the choice to smile, laugh and love or we can make the choice to be sad, fearful and stressed. We HAVE choices. We can create wonderful things for ourselves. Dream big. Play. Smile. Love ;-) @ Lauren – I feel the need to clarify some additional meaning behind Bob’s comment, “We’ll all find out what’s true and not true when we die.

(We’ll all find out what’s true and not true when we die. Until that time, do what you need to in order to keep going and enjoy life. - ) Waiting until you die is much to late to think about what it is going to be like-you can no longer change your mind and make different choices, that is something you can only do alive.
